HELM v6.0.0

HELM v6.0.0

Released: 2026-10-21.

HELM V6 adds supervised agent runs, the Signal interface and a signed Mac build.

Highlights

• Supervised local runs for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, with an explicit workspace, permission mode and time limit. A returned result waits for your review. Run journals recover after a restart.
• Signal interface: graphite shell, clearer navigation and a full-width run workspace. Visuals pause when hidden and respect reduced motion.
• Briefings can pin one named model. A briefing to any endpoint outside this machine and the local network sends CPU and memory totals only.
• Optional Support HELM link. Every feature stays free.
• The macOS DMG is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
• The Windows executable is now helm-light.exe, so it does not collide with the Kubernetes helm command.
